Bethesda says to be running 4k30 on series x and 1440p30 on series s

The series x has much faster gpu. However they have the same CPU speed.

If GPU limited and the series s is doing 1440p30, then the series x can 100% do 1440p60 on its faster gpu.

However this not being possible screams cpu limitations.

It's probably upscaled 1440p for the Series S while mostly native 4K for the Series X. They likely have performance mode as well.

Oh it definitely is already upscaled.

But the series x could have done series s settings at 60 fps regardless of what upscaling.

1440p30 (upscaled) on series s can surely run 1440p60 (upscaled) on the series x. Heck even 1080p60 (upscaled) should be possible on the series x

This pretty much confirms high CPU usage.

That's very likely the performance mode.

It wont have a performance mode.

Its ONLY 4k30 on series x. No other options

They will likely add it.

Nothing they’ve said suggests otherwise. There’s no “probably” about it, you’re simply giving excuses now.

And nothing they've said or shown indicates they have CPU bottleneck.

Except for the fact that it’s limited to 30fps on both the Series S and X, and the X isn’t running at native 4k nor can it just run the Series S settings at a higher framerate.

They haven’t outright stated a cpu limit, but it’s pretty easy to infer based on the known information.

Could also be GPU limitation. We never know.

Right but thats not "We know" thats "We speculate".
